The Civil War ended shortly after Richmond fell in April 1865. General Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox Court House and General Johnston surrendered to General Sherman. After Richmond fell, John Wilkes Booth decided to kill President Abraham Lincoln, because he wanted to strike back in the only way he could.
The Civil War only started because the slave states wanted to become their own country so they could continue slavery. If slavery didn't become illegal there might not have been a war
While none of Lincoln's kids died in the Civil War, Robert Todd Lincoln did serve in the war. "On February 11, 1865 he was commissioned as an assistant adjutant general with the captain and served in the last weeks of the American Civil War as part of General Ulysses S. Grant's immediate staff."

There is a long list of US Civil War veterans, some were heroes, that remained in the US Army after the US Civil War. Among them was Philip Sheridan, whose exploits as a general for the Union were displayed in Virginia. It was Sheridan, who continued his career on the US's western frontiers, who was known to hate Native Americans. His infamous slogan of " The only good Indian is a dead Indian" places him along side more famous Native American haters such as General William T. Sherman.

The Union Army only fought the Civil War!!
In those days, sadly, the government's position was that the only good Indian was a dead Indian. Most of the best military commanders in the Civil War used to be Indian killers.
